Achilles is a sculptural piece made out of 445 unique triangles cut precisely out of plywood. The triangles are assembled with steel brackets into a life size giraffe. The piece will be painted to resemble a giraffe. A section of each triangle will represent a spot on its coat. The piece was created to raise awareness about the dwindling population of the West African giraffe. The giraffe is also a known symbol of intuition and farsightedness. Visitors will then be invited to draw a vision of their future with chalk on its coat.The final piece will be displayed on June 6, 2014 at the FIGMENT art festival in Governors Island throughoutthe whole summer.
